CaramelTechnically
speaking, caramel refers to the liquid gold state of
sugar when it's put to heat. But the word conjures up
more than that. It brings to mind a vast array of sweet
delights-from chewy, gooey turtles to soft, spoonable
crème caramel. It invokes visions of hot caramel
sauce dripping down a scoop of ice cream, and the buttery
syrup that soaks into the apples of a Tarte Tatin. Caramel
is a beloved element in the world of sweets. For many
people, it is their favorite flavor. This is the one
and only book devoted exclusively to that subject. Published
in 2003, Caramel is full of deliciously gooey
desserts made with caramelized sugar. It contains everything
from Crème Brûlée, to Burnt Sugar
Lemon Tart, to MadCaps (caramel- and chocolate-dipped
Marshmallows). A chapter on The Basics gives a wonderfully
simple explanation of how to caramelize sugar, demystifying
a process that many find daunting. Recipes are geared
for the inexperienced baker, but are sophisticated enough
to satisfy the most seasoned cook. $19

Got
Milk? The Cookie BookThis
book just keeps on selling. It has received nothing
but superlative reviews. The chapters are divided into
"cookie families" such as Butter Cookies &
Shortbread, Macaroons & Meringues, or Twice-Baked
Cookies (Biscotti to Mandelbread). There is even an
entire chapter on Chocolate Chip Cookies, containing
everthing from Crisp and Crunchy CCCs to Thin and Chewy
ones. Each section begins with an introduction that
describes the ingredients, the hows, and the whys common
to that group. Pecan Praline Lace Cookies and Chocolate
Quakes are a must-make. The fifty-some recipes in the
book are quick, easy, no-fail, and delicious.$17
